What started out as swatting soon evolved into a right and propper scuffle. It did not, however, elevate into a fight because when JW was twisting around and trying to catch hold of the Fly fry, his coils drifted out from under him and suddenly both of them were rolling toward the water in a heap of scales.

KER-SPLASH!

He just wasn't sure how many times his life was going to flash before his eyes when dealing with this kid. JW surfaced and paddled needlessly hard, yelling the entire time. He was long enough that if he got the mind to move his tail beneath him, he could stand right up out of the shallows.
